All aspects of the colonies give what this quote says success takes, but the three this essay focuses on are colonial families, life on a farm, and leisure. Colonial families, although similar to our own differ greatly in some ways. Before family comes marriage and in the colonies most were married in their mid twenties. All…

The men and women gather in the Wright’s house with the sole mission of trying to discover Mrs. Wright’s reason for killing her husband. Also in the beginning of the play, Mr. Hale says, “I guess you know about how much he talked himself, but I thought maybe if I went to the house and talked about it before his wife, though I said to Harry that I didn’t…

Secondarily, the use of symbolism can been seen throughout the drama as well to create meaning and emotion. The use of symbolism by Glaspell is very important in understanding the concept of the Wrights marriage and lack of women's rights during the time. The major symbols throughout Trifles are the canary, the cage, and the knotted pattern on the unfinished quilt. It is rather obvious the canary is Minnie Foster before she married her husband, the very controlling and secluded, John Wright. Mrs…

“Alice Walker's early story “Everyday Use” is clustered around a central image: quilting and quilts. In this story, the two sisters, Maggie and Dee are very different” (Marton). Maggie is shy and uneducated, but Dee is outgoing and educated. However, even though they are different they are also similar.
